C A G F D
D
Left a good job in the city,
workin' for the man every night and day,
but I never lost one minute of sleepin',
worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.
A
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Bm
Proud Mary, keep on burnin'.
D
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
D
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city
till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

D
if you go down to the river,
bet you're gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry, 'cause you got no money.
People on the river are happy to give.
